Niku is tinkering around with the viewscreen.
"Hey guys I think I increased the resolution," he says.
Suddenly, a very harried looking group of Kazz, Beat Bandit, Caithness, and NexAdruin bursts into the room.
"The mission was not a success!" says Kazz, wild eyed.

MISSION: FAILURE***
"There must have been a spy that went with us," Kazz says.
"Where were you when we took the bridge, Kazz?" says Beat Bandit.
"For that matter, where were YOU when Kazz was in engineering?" Caithness retorts.
"Bark bark bark! Bark bark bark! I am good at holding things in my mouth!" says Nex.
Your bickering is interrupted by the newly enhanced viewscreen flicking to life.
THIS IS THE BYDO EMPIRE BROADCASTING ON ALL CHANNELS. BAHAHAHAHA. YOUR PATHETIC ATTEMPT TO SABOTAGE OUR MINERAL TRANSPORT WAS PATHETIC. YOU MIGHT AS WELL CURL UP IN A PATHETIC LITTLE BALL IN THE CORNER AND -- what? Hello? Yes. Yes it's me. Listen, Carl, I'm right in the middle of -- No. No. No. Uh huh. Yeah. I don't know, just get me anything. Well what is he having? Yeah, that's fine. Uh. I don't know. A cherry coke. I'm not even gonna eat it. OK. Yeah. Bye. Uh huh. Yeah. Oh, shit, is this thing still on? I GOTTA GO. TALK TO YOU LATER. ... Love you too. AHEM. AS I WAS SAYING, YOU ARE PATHETIC. OUR VICTORY OVER FIDO IS INEVITABLE. END TRANSMISSION.Not moments after the viewscreen dies, another image appears:
This is FIDO HQ! Come in FIDO Agents! Hello! Your failure to destroy the mineral transport is unfortunate, but the fight must go on. We've just received word that -- Hello? Carl? No, listen, I'm right in the middle of -- I don't know, what is he having? Cherry coke!? That's what I order -- Whatever. Just make sure to bring the Karaoke machine. Right. No, I can't. Why? Because I'm trapped in this fort, what do you mean? OK, listen I'll call you back. OK bye. Ahem. Agents! We've just received word that the BYDO Empire is building a Megalaser Superweapon on the outskirts of our space. It would be utterly devastating to our forces if such a weapon was brought online. We have a small window to act. Intelligence suggests a group of four of you would be the perfect number to bring down this weapon from the inside. Good luck, FIDO agents! HQ out.Dreth, it's your turn to elect a team. All future votes for SEND/ABORT will be sent to me by PM.
